Discovery of the DNA structure.
The discovery of the DNA structure was the start of a new era in biology, leading, over the next two decades, to the cracking of the genetic code and the realization that DNA directs the synthesis of proteins. There were technical advances too, such as DNA sequencing, genetic engineering, and gene cloning. More recently, the complete sequences of many organisms have been solved - including the human genome in June 2000. The next 50 years of the DNA story will be all about realizing the practical benefits of Crick and Watson's discovery for humanity - in industry, medicine, food and agriculture.

Who would even consider it to be the Space Shuttle? You americans are lucky it runs at all. If it was a car, it would be banned as totally dangerous.
Unfortunately, I'd say the most important technological advancement in the 20th century was the availability of individual and mass transport driven by mechanical fuel based engines, aircraft, motor vehicles and ships. These unfortunately have turned into two edged swords, revolutionising most peoples perspectives and lives whilst blighting the planet for future generations, assuming we last that long.

Antibiotics and vaccines, without these the number of people to succumb or be left severely injured by both bacterial and viral infections would represent a sizable percentage of the world's population. Smallpox, polio, wound infections, sepsis, the list is large.
